Chapter 766: Don't even think about it! (2nd Update)
Suiyang City Lord's Mansion.
It was once the temporary residence of the Wei prince when he fled south last year, and a year later it became the residence of the crown prince and queen of Wei.
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the young Prince Zeng and his mother sat opposite each other, both of them with sad faces on their faces.
The crown prince said to his mother in a somewhat trembling voice: "Tell me, will this Suiyang City really be captured by the Zhao people?" ”
The queen glanced around with a sad face, and after confirming that the palace people standing around her were her own henchmen, she whispered to her son: "Although the queen mother lives in the palace all the year round, she also knows that the strength of the Zhao army is unparalleled in the world, and now Duan Ganzi only has tens of thousands of remnants in his hands, how can he make the opponent of the Zhao army?" ”
Hearing this, Prince Zeng's eyes couldn't help blinking a few times, and then he continued to ask: "Queen Mother, if the Zhao army breaks through Suiyang City, then what will be our fate?" ”
As soon as the prince said this, the palace people who were serving around all pricked up their ears, wanting to know the answer to this question.
To be honest, this is also the answer that the 200,000 Wei soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City want to know at this moment.
After all, this city had just become the territory of Wei a few years ago, and most of the people here still speak the language of Chu and use the script of Chu, so they don't have much loyalty to Wei.
Therefore, at such a time, most of the Suiyang people did not think about martyrdom for the Wei State, but thought about how they could avoid being enslaved or even slaughtered after the city was destroyed.
After all, according to the rules prevailing in this era, as long as every city is breached, then it will inevitably follow looting and killing, because this is the most effective means to consume the vitality of an enemy city.
It was precisely because of the fear of looting and slaughter that the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City were able to hold out for so many days under such circumstances.
Suddenly, a dense noise came in, as piercing as a buzzing wave.
The faces of everyone in the hall changed at the same time, and the prince subconsciously stood up and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one could answer his question.
The noise continued to approach, and suddenly the chief of the Wei court guard with a long sword staggered into the room, shouting loudly: "Prince, queen, the big thing is not good, the army of Zhao has entered the city, and please ask the prince and queen to leave here quickly!" ”
"What? Zhao Guoren entered the city? The crown prince and the queen, and even the entire hall were all stunned after hearing the news.
Although they had long thought of such a possibility, when such a reality suddenly appeared in front of them, they still felt unbelievable from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, once Zhao Jun entered the city, it meant that everything was broken, and where their fate was going was something that even they didn't know.
Seeing that everyone was staying there, and the shouting and killing sound outside was approaching quickly, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted: "Please also ask the queen and the crown prince to leave this place quickly, otherwise once the Zhao people rush in, it will be too late!" ”
After hearing this, the queen was shocked and finally came back to her senses, and subconsciously took her son's little hand and said to the crown prince Wei Zeng: "Zeng'er, leave here with the queen mother!" ”
However, unexpectedly, the crown prince Wei Zheng actually broke free from his mother's arm at this time, and said loudly to everyone in the hall: "No, you should know that King Zhao came under the banner of quelling the rebellion for his father, so the army of Zhao State entered the city to kill Duan Ganzi, and it is absolutely impossible to embarrass us!" We should not run away now, we should wait here for the arrival of the Zhao army, because only the Zhao army is our true ally now! ”
I have to say that the young prince's words were very methodical, and he immediately moved many people, making many people in the room have hesitant looks on their faces.
The chief of the palace guard guarding the two of them stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "Prince, prince, I can't help but think that Zhao Guoren is too merciful." It must be known that most of the territory lost by Wei in the past few years was taken away by Zhao State, how could such Zhao State sincerely help Wei State? ”
The prince had yet to refute, but the queen who was standing beside him at this moment also had a plan in her heart after listening to the words of the chief guard, and simply grabbed her child's hand directly, and no matter how the prince screamed and resisted, she directly dragged the child out of the hall.
When everyone saw this, they naturally immediately followed, and tightly escorted the mother and son out of the hall and towards the back door of the mansion.
A moment later, the group came to the side door of the mansion, and the chief of the guard led the way with a long sword in hand, stretched out his hand to open the door, and walked out.
Everyone was just about to follow, when they suddenly saw a miserable scream from the chief of the guard in front of them, and the whole person staggered backwards, with an extra wound on his chest, front and back, and the wound was still gushing out of blood, and it was actually pierced through his chest by a long sword.
It happened extremely suddenly, so that everyone behind the chief guard was stunned all of a sudden, and it took a few breaths before anyone came back to their senses, and several female palace people let out extremely sharp screams in an instant.
Hundreds of Wei soldiers rushed in from outside the side gate, and quickly formed an encirclement, encircling the crown prince and the queen and their party.
A middle-aged man holding a long sword, with blood dripping from the blade of the sword, appeared in front of the two of them, and said in a very pleasant tone: "I don't know where the prince and queen are going?" ”
After everyone saw this person's face, their faces changed at the same time, and the queen's face changed color, and she couldn't help but subconsciously exclaim: "Duan, Duan Ganzi!" ”
That's right, this guy who suddenly led people to appear and blocked the prince and queen here is the current Xiangbang of Wei State, Duan Ganzi of Wuxiangjun.
Duan Ganzi looked at the panicked queen and her party, the smile on his face became even more pleasant, he shook the long sword in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Why can't anyone give me an answer?" Come on! These guys dared to trick the queen and the prince into escaping, and they were all killed! ”
Under Duan Ganzi's order, these hundreds of wolf-like Wei soldiers immediately swarmed up, where are the many palace people around the queen and the prince who are the opponents of these killers? After only a short moment, he lay down on the ground, blood flowing freely, and all his souls returned to the western sky.
Only the crown prince and the queen's mother and son were surrounded in the center, the queen's whole face was pale, her pretty face turned pale, and she even looked very trembling when she spoke: "Wu Xiangjun, you, what are you doing?" ”
Duan Ganzi carried a blood-stained long sword and said with a sneer: "The minister actually doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to guard the safety of the crown prince and queen." Well, now that the traitors have been ambushed, please invite the prince and queen to come with their ministers. ”
Perhaps stimulated by the corpses all over the ground, the ten-year-old Prince Zeng suddenly jumped up, pointed at Duan Ganzi and scolded: "Duan Ganzi, you are a shameless traitor!" It is because of you that Wei has become where it is today. Thou hast poisoned my father in public, and thou hast stolen the authority of the Wei kingdom in the rear, and I have sworn that one day thou shalt crush thy bones and scatter ashes, and punish thy whole clan!! ”
Prince Zeng's words were extremely vicious, which made everyone present change their faces.
The queen who was standing next to Prince Zeng came back to her senses in an instant, and covered Prince Zeng's mouth tightly, preventing him from continuing.
Duan Ganzi's face changed and changed when he was scolded by the prince's words, and finally couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Okay, good, I didn't expect that you, the puppet prince who was not taken seriously by me at all, could say such words full of righteousness, which really surprised me." ”
After a pause, Duan Ganzi suddenly straightened his face, and said to the mother and son in front of him in a very serious tone: "Don't hide it from the queen, now that the people of Zhao have broken through the city, and they will soon be killed in this temporary palace, Weichen really can't bear to let the prince and queen fall into the hands of Zhao Guoren and be humiliated, so——"
Duan Ganzi deliberately paused when he said this, slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and then said with a cruel smile to the trembling mother and son in front of him: "Therefore, in order to prevent the state of Wei from being insulted by the Zhao State, I can only invite the queen and the prince to go on the road in advance!" ”
Duan Ganzi's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and instantly slashed into the hearts of the queen and the prince, shocking the mother and son without a master, and the queen's body trembled and almost couldn't stand steadily, and said in a trembling voice: "Wu Xiangjun, you actually want to kill the old woman, mother and son?"
Duan Ganzi laughed out loud without concealing it: "That's right! That damn Zhao Dan, it was obvious that he single-handedly planned to kill Wei Yu, but he put this kind of charge on my Duan Ganzi, and now he is leading the Six-Nation Alliance to wipe out Wu Duan Ganzi and his accomplices? How can there be such a good thing in the world! ”
"Hmph, doesn't he just want you and the other two to be puppets? Then I am not as good as his Zhao Dan's wish! I must kill your mother and son here, I want to see what kind of wonderful expression Zhao Dan will have on his face after he knows about your death and knows that he can no longer secretly manipulate Wei State? ”
After saying this, Duan Ganzi no longer hesitated, and after laughing, the long sword in his hand slashed directly at the head of the prince in front of him.
The queen of Wei, who was standing on the side, was shocked, and the whole person pounced on the body of the prince and blocked the sword for the prince.
I heard a scream, and the sword slashed right on the queen's back, and blood flowed down the wound, instantly dyeing the white clothes on the queen's back a bright red.
Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment, then raised his long sword again, and said with a cruel smile: "It's okay, since that's the case, then let the two of you and your mother and son finish it with one sword!" ”
Duan Ganzi raised his long sword again and stabbed heavily at the back of the queen in front of him.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, an arrow burst through the air and hit Duan Ganzi's right wrist, piercing her entire wrist directly.
Duan Ganzi staggered back with a scream, and subconsciously looked at the place where the bow and arrow came from, only to find a young general of Zhao standing there, still holding a bow and arrow shooting attitude in his hand.
I saw that the young general of Zhao State threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out a long sword from his waist, and then shouted in a deep voice to Duan Ganzi: "Zhao Kuo is here, the rebel Duan Ganzi, suffer death!" ”
Zhao Kuo roared, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers poured out from behind Zhao Kuo, closely following Zhao Guo's footsteps, drowning Duan Ganzi and his entourage.
